Ryker just sighed.

"Outside." he said.

"Probably on the roof of the RV." he went on.

"...that, or up a tree." he added.

"Seems to like being perched up somewhere." he then shrugged.

He received no response, but he looked around, scanning the area, and the trees, and found nothing.

However, when he looked at the RV, and at the roof, he saw them sitting there.

They were absently watching the sky, before they looked at Eke.

"...." they were silent, and just waved slightly.

"....I was." Savra replied.

"And I got even more scared when you got hurt." they went on.

"Why?" they asked.

"It was dangerous, and I told you to get away." they told Eke.

"Why did you come closer to me?"

"......" Savra was silent, and sighed.

"People were chasing me. Wanted to kill me." they said.

"I hurt people with my power, and then wanted to kill me, so I ran." they went on.

"To be alone." they said further.

"I thought if I was alone, I wouldn't hurt people. You were camping close to me. I got scared."

"....." Savra was silent again for a moment.

"...a Raiju." they responded.

Raiju were known as many things, depending on who one asked, but the truth of the matter, behind all the mythology, was that a Raiju was a lupine elemental creature of lightning, with shape-shifting capablities.

And they were often companions to dragons.

Looking closer, Eke could see hints of pronounced sharp canine teeth threatening to poke out from Savra's mouth.

It also seemed like their hair was scraggly and mussed, like a wolf's pelt.

Savra was silent for a moment, before looking at Eke.

"...not the reaction I usually receive." they replied.

"But then again, most people want to kill me." they sighed.

"...a dragon huh? Cool." they then said.

"Are you all right from last night?" they asked.

Savra still looked guilty, but nodded.

"Okay." they said.

"...sorry about your condition." they went on.

"You seem too nice to have one." they commented.

"...life really isn't fair, it seems..." they then mumbled.

"....I wish more people thought like you." Savra responded.

"But they don't." they lamented.

"I'm... really sorry for what happened." they then apologised.

"But... thank you for stopping me." they said further. "If that storm had kept going, then I think I would have flooded the area." they then guessed.

"...so what are you going to do now?" they inquired.

Savra froze when Eke hugged them and suggested they come along.

"M-m-me?" they stammered.

"Are... are you sure?" they asked.

"I endangered you both." they said. "I HURT you." they went on.

"You... still want me with you?" they asked further, finding themselves leaning into Eke's embrace.

"...." Savra was silent once more... before burrowing their head in Eke's chest.

They grabbed onto Eke's collar, but he could tell there was no malice in it.

And then they started to shake a little.

Eke could hear the faint sobbing emanating from Savra, as they continued to hold Eke close.

"...thank you..." they whispered in a shaky tone.

"Just... thank you..."
